Ah well Zaine. Couldn't have whacked a better deserving bloke.

Really?? Wouldn't have thought Jake was a fan of Victorian era century etched ornamentation. There you go!
Are you serious? Haha. That's so eye-wateringly bad.

Can find the footage of the Cordy incident at that link. It's about a minute into the video.

Re: MRP Thread 2018
I would challenge the suspension, but with the defence we have mounted for Redpath last year and Katie Brennan as a guide, it would be just an embarrassment.
Cordy didn't even throw a punch. It was just an intended bump that Hooker created by running into the contact. He then went down looking for an undeserved free from a slight glancing blow with Zaine's upper arm.

Re: MRP Thread 2018
Both pissweak and stupid. That it was well off the ball probably inflates their interest in looking at it too. We all want to smash Hooker but just bloody pointless Zaine.

Re: MRP Thread 2018
Surely a fine is sufficient in the Cordy case, oh no hang on the fines are only for Collingwood players and suspensions are for everyone else. This bloke (Michael Christian) must be held to account by somebody.
They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

Re: MRP Thread 2018
If you compare the incident of Rance on Bruest, where a fine has been offered, Zaine is harshly treated.

Re: MRP Thread 2018
Rance and Scott Thompson had basically the exact same situation this week and got a fine. The argument made by the MRP for being different to Cordy is that they were attempting to spoil and thus it's not an intentional act (hitting the player) whereas Cordy's act was off the ball and therefore intentional.

Re: MRP Thread 2018
If you slow it down, Cordy tries to bump him across the upper arm, and Hooker puts his head down, he barely gets hit and then acts as if his lights are punched out by falling down and then bobs up quick as a flash.

Re: MRP Thread 2018
Dumb by Cordy, but fair decision. More concerned though as why Hooker isn't charged with his follow up punch on Cordy - looked way worse

That stuff is what think should be dealt with more frequently in this manner. However, I don't believe he punched him? The moire should have paid a free kick down field. That's it.
If the act is is the realms of actions performed in of football, bumping, spoiling, marking, tackling etc it should rarely draw a suspension unless it is unreasonably or intentionally late, high or both. That pretty much means weeks for all the bullshit niggling and jumper punches etc. More emphasis should be placed on the field umpires to issue a report too. Video footage, out of context and slowed down feels unfair in some instances.
The alternative thing I would do is introduce a third man in rule, and lessen the penalty for retaliation. IE Hooker jumper punches me in a push and shove, he'll get one week. I punch his brains out through his ears, no penalty. Anyone one else runs in, 2 weeks. Nothing is as effective a deterrent as the threat of a punch in the face.
